The rhythm is sinus rhythm with a rate of 80/minute. The PR interval is 130 ms. The Q waves in II, III, aVF are diagnostic of an inferior wall myocardial infarction.. The ST segment elevation and inverted T waves in II, III, aVF suggest that this inferior infarction is recent. The inverted T waves in V5 and V6 suggest possible true posterior wall ischemia/infarction which could be an associated with the inferior infarction.
